flaneur – Blue Sky is a logger of local repute who has black locust. He lives in Colrain, and when I find out how to reach him, I will pass that info on.

Absolutely fascinating, Pat! Once the apparently significant hurdle of finding black locust is behind me, I can imagine all sorts of garden structures built from this wood.
